Knitting trials


Hat Pattern Pic
Originally uploaded by bluebunny.
Here's a pic of the hat I attempted to start yesterday. I glanced over the pattern, figured I had it down & started in. Working on it at lunch time today I realized it was looking much pointer than I wanted it to.

Re-read the instructions. After frogging, re-starting, frogging again, re-reading instructions and finally checking in with my online group I finally figured out the problem ... turns out the method I learned for making a stitch isn't the common one & my method threw the whole pattern off! yeeesh!

So anyways, you can see my current CO there in the pic with the first row of the increases finally worked correctly!

Sink Faucet is all that remains


A sink faucet is the only thing left standing in the kitchen of James Abney's home after it was struck by a tornado associated with Hurricane Ivan last Fall.

Overpriced jar-opener

I find it hard to believe there is a big market for a $50 jar opener!

What a rack!
